setting aside the hard left the story took the last 40 chapters; why is shit always happening to dojun, my man couldn't catch a break
I'm rereading it and, while it definitely is insanely good, the beginning of their IRL relationship is just so unrealistic They barely just met, ML is acting way too forward, borderline like a creep ngl, and MC is already saying he has feelings for him, despite ML's crazy behaviour. Second time they see each other outside of the cafe and ML be putting down the car seat and kissing his neck without consent? It's not even about attraction bc sure they can get spicy right away, who cares, but what is MC doing talking about having feelings for the ML. Y'all haven't even had a proper conversation yet.
For a fairly cliché premise, this has been executed quite nicely. From what I saw on Baka Updates the second season will resume on April 17th, can't wait for the official translation.
The translation in chapter 11 is a bit weird or maybe worded weirdly; ML is listing possible turn offs as to why MC would reject him and he says "Is it because I'm a guy", so why is MC's reaction to that "How did you know I dated guys?". Makes no sense. If ML knew MC dated men then why would be list it as a turn off?
I think it was less of him listing it as an actual turn off and more of him just trying to get the MC to admit that he's okay with dating guys.
No, then it'd be a whole different question and it'd be worded differently, not added to the "is it because" list he's throwing at him. Since ML knows MC dates men he could've said something along the lines of "I know it's not because I'm a guy.", which would promptly reveal that he knows about it. Either way the MC's response is what doesn't make sense here; the natural progression here should be MC either admitting that it's not because of that because he does indeed date men, or not admitting it by wiggling his way out of answering completely. So, either the question should've been worded differently or the answer, for the word exchange to make any sense.
not the author saying "chill, you jaded fujos" we gotta stop reading sm toxic stories
Bro just read artist's other stories....
oh my bad, didn't know an author has to be contained to one genre, how silly of me
Thats indeed silly of you, lets go back to this conversation after a few months shall we
So I'm around 50 chapters in and this webtoon definitely suffers from the "adaptation" curse most novels turned webtoons have. I have not read the novel yet (definitely planning to though bc the story is very interesting) but I can feel us not getting half of what the novel contains. While the art is nice (except for the occasional character looking like they have a lazy eye lol), the pacing is a bit off; it definitely feels a bit rushed. The most glaring issue here, though, is how casual the culmination points or the grand reveals feel. Like give us some more pizzazz, something more than just the MC's eyes going wide for one panel. I sure do hope the novel covers these parts nicely; there's nothing less exciting than glossing over an important part of a story. That's my thoughts so far, but I am excited to continue reading to see how everything resolves.
That’s exactly what I thought! I started this 2 or 3 days ago and just finished today, and you can see, with the lore and the political landscape that the story was carefully planned, but the pacing was all over the place.
I started looking for the novel cuz I'm sure (well i hope) that everything I found lacking was more developped in it because there is a lot of potential in this story!
It has a 4.5 rating on novel updates so it looks very promising! Cramming 200+ chapters of a novel into 74 webtoon chapters seems like an odd idea for sure, we've definitely skipped over a lot of lore. I haven't found the time to start it yet, but I hope we both enjoy it when we get around to reading it!
It does, it actually cut out some stuff (especially Eyra's bday gift from Yanu which he accidentally "destroyed" it lmao.
Anyways, some chunks of scene are missing, there's even a slight mystery to whose the killer (Erya didn't found out the mystery spy first, it was Yanu) and I personally think the manhwa failed to make us feel Yanu's desperation and struggles in the final fight (it was more intense than here and there's even the citizen's pov of the fight) and Erya's anger and disgust towards his family's murderer.
it's been years since i felt this elated about a bl couple confessing to each other, they got me silent screaming and kicking my feet
It'a a cute premise but I really don't like how forceful the ML is. All he does is push forward regardless of how the MC feels about it. I hardly would call that love. Maybe an obsession, but not love.
